Still confused. the rack spacers change the tie rod angle, which helps bump steer on a lowered car.

Absolutely NO effect on the axles...

stronger axles make the problem more evident because the joints are stiffer and you feel it even worse

So is there any way to actually lower our car without messing our CV joints up? Can I get shorter axles?
